Fernandez became the first Portland Timber this season to win MLS goal of the week.

The Timbers forward got on the end of a pass from Timbers midfielder Diego Valeri 34 seconds into Saturday's match, dribbled around D.C. United goalkeeper Bill Hamid and then chipped the ball into the net with his back facing the goal.

Fernandez received 37.7 percent of the goal of the week vote, barely edging out New England Revolution rookie Patrick Mullins for the award.

The Argentine forward leads the Timbers with four goals on the season.
